I choose to believe this headline is a cry for help. Blink twice if Bari Weiss is in the room with you right now.

A U.S. citizen is speaking out after being detained in a Minnesota facility, exposing what he describes as "horrific" conditions.

I had some people round for dinner last night, and I tried to impress them with a sauce created from vodka, gravy and nitrous oxide. But all I've done is make myself an absolut laughing stock.

Dad pun of the year so far, imo

A thatched roof with 2 chimney pots. Atop the roof, instead of the usual duck or pheasant made of thatch, there stands a majestic T-rex

Went for a walk and a pint and spotted the best example of free will I've ever seen

Gwaihir the Windlord, possibly, evacuating some hobbits because Mount Trump is unstable and erupting.

How to duck a marriage proposal.

Finally had a chance to listen to the speech and he really did say that - this is the most he's ever said on the topic, I think.

We need to give serious thought to how else to take advantage of Vance's god-tier ability to repel all humans.

sort of hard to convey the sheer joy, scale and absurdity of it but Budapest's streets are currently so full, past midnight on a Sunday, that it feels like I'm personally walking back to my room, accompanied by my eight to twelve thousand best friends

Hideous concentration camps. In America.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
